Self-Custodying $POKT
Trading and Staking wallets to pick from, and which fits what intent.
$POKT Wallets: Where Your Tokens Live
Once you’ve acquired $POKT, the next step is finding the right wallet. Different wallets serve different purposes and ecosystems. You can hold wrapped tokens ($wPOKT) in three different chains currently:
Ethereum
Base
Solana
Or you can hold native tokens ($POKT) in Pocket Mainnet which is part of the Cosmos Ecosystem
Below are some recommended wallets that work well with w$POKT for Defi and $POKT for Holding/Staking:
Everyday access and Defi ($wPOKT):
Wallets for EVM chains (Ethereum, Base) :
Wallets for Solana:
Holding and Staking Native Tokens ($POKT):
Cosmos:
Pocket is now fully part of the Cosmos ecosystem. Here's our recommended options for holding native $POKT:
Keplr Wallet — full support for Pocket Network via Cosmos registry
Leap Wallet — modern Cosmos wallet with browser and mobile apps
Ledger (via Keplr / Cosmos app) — hardware integration following the Cosmos standard
Under the Shannon upgrade, Pocket Network now runs on a Cosmos SDK / CometBTF based blockchain.
This means $POKT can be held in Cosmos-compatible wallets and staked directly through the new protocol roles — Suppliers, Gateways, or the DAO.
Intro to Staking Native Tokens
Staking on Pocket’s mainnet now happens directly on the Cosmos chain.
You can stake by:
Using the poktrolld CLI, which manages suppliers, gateways, and DAO interactions
Or, soon, through Keplr-based interfaces once released by PNF
Reminder: Wrapped tokens ($wPOKT on Ethereum, Base, or Solana) must be bridged back to Pocket mainnet before you can stake them.

Choosing a wallet isn’t just technical — it’s about how you plan to engage. If you only want to hold and trade, an exchange or mobile wallet may be enough. If you plan to stake, you’ll want a native or hardware option.
